For a PC that I need to build soon, I'm considering using an Alpha 8055, and then ducting that output to the side vents on this Evercase 4252.

I also want to use a Seasonic Tornado PSU, which has a bottom mounted 120 mm fan.

Will I run into problems by having the PSU suck from the bottom when the CPU HSF is also trying to suck? In other words, will the two fans just be fighting each other for air because they'll be so close to each other? Will there be too much sucking going on? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Or should I get a Seasonic Super Silencer, with the vertical 80 mm instead?

I would say that an Alpha and two 120mm fans would be a good thing... The rear 120mm is acting as the HS fan and also contributing to the case air flow, and the Super Tornado would likely be kept running nice a slow since the CPU's heat would get directly out of the case. If the Evercase comes with it side "snorkel" that would be fine, or you could just block up the side grill and maximize the air coming in the front -- and it can handle it!
